At some point, many attorneys and human resources professionals must conduct or manage a workplace investigation. Increasingly, courts hold employers responsible to conduct fair and thorough investigations. A good investigation might help a company avoid litigating at all, while a poor investigation can promote litigation and put a company’s managers, HR professionals, and in-house attorneys in the hot seat. Thus, it has become more important than ever for employment attorneys to be able to conduct investigations and advise their clients on how to appropriately conduct investigations.
